Summary:

Schools in the Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical district consist of a single school: Gr New Bedford Vocational Technical, a public high school serving grades 9–12 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. With 2,151 students, it is a sizable regional vocational-technical high school, and because the district contains only this one school, district-level figures mirror the school-level figures.

Its strongest numbers are completion-related. The graduation rate is 97.8% and the dropout rate is 0.6% for 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio is a low 11.2 students per teacher, and per-student spending was $22,955 in 2020–21, though that spending figure is an older data point. Academics are the weaker area: MCAS Next Generation proficiency sits below the state average in every reported subject and year. In 2025–26, English Language Arts was 25.37% versus 45.48% statewide, Mathematics 26.07% versus 43.73%, Science 22.09% versus 40.50%, and Biology End of Course 22.18% versus 37.68%.

Performance trends point downward as well. Tenth-grade ELA proficiency fell from 33.03% in 2024–25 to 25.37% in 2025–26, Mathematics from 29.67% to 26.07%, and Science from 25.23% to 22.09%. The school's rank slipped from 211 of 348 (39th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24 to 280 of 353 (21st percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26, while the district snapshot shows 320 of 351, 9th percentile, 0 stars — a figure worth verifying since the district has only this one school. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank, so economic context is unknown rather than zero.
